Summer Resignation?
If you find a different opportunity over the summer, you'll need to resign your position as soon as possible. The last day that you can resign and still retain your certificate is (approximately) June 12. After that day, the district can hold your certificate, meaning you will not be able to teach in the state of Oklahoma for the upcoming school year. If you're leaving education or the state, this is not an issue. If you plan on staying in education in Oklahoma, however, this could be an issue.
When resigning, you'll want to do it swiftly and notify your building administrator as well as the ESC (Dr. Curtis and Mrs. Chancellor). One resignation letter could be used for all three.

FACEBOOK GROUP
We have a Facebook group! I'll post the entirety of this email in that group. We know not everyone is on social media, and we are working to get another method of communication in place. If you're on social media, please friend me (Heather Smith Davis), Anna Thom, Jayleen Mayes, Megan Freeman, Alana Murphy (or any of your facebook-teacher besties-member friends) and they can add you! If you friend us, be sure to tell us you're looking for the BEA group.
